[...] a guardianship order lets the person step right into the place of a parent. [...] if both parents die in a car accident, if a teenager decides to live with a relative in another province or country to attend school, or if neither parent is able to care for the child, one or more family members or friends might apply for guardianship.
In Morguard Investments Ltd v. De Savoye, the Supreme Court of Canada placed a great emphasis on the need for the courts to assume extra-territorial jurisdiction where there is a real and substantial connection to the forum assuming jurisdiction or rendering judgment. Mundulai argues that when applied in the context of child access, custody, and guardianship orders, the Morguard principle will place the courts in an oddly difficulty situation as it attempts not only to reconcile the parent's competing responsibilities, but also tries to incorporate distinctive values, norms, and cultural perceptions of two or more jurisdictions. The "best interest of the child test" requires the courts to favor one parent over the other, in an adjudicative that often resembles a show down of competing v...
[Mary] picked her sister, Jane. That type of designation is not binding. Jane still needs to step forward to the courts after Mary's death and seek a formal order of guardianship over the children. The fact that Mary picked Jane does not end the matter, and her ex-husband is free to contest the guardianship application. What else can she do? Some parents include a "war-chest clause" in their will. It is a provision that authorizes the testamentary guardian to hire a lawyer to fight the guardianship as a contest in the courts, and provides that the estate is to pay all of the legal fees incurred. Lawyers are expensive, particularly experienced ones. The idea is to ensure that Jane has all of the legal horsepower money can buy in her bid to successfully secure guardianship of the children...

The children, whose mother sent the girl to school with Nazi markings inked on her body, will remain with a foster family under the care of CFS. Her ex-husband, father to the boy and stepfather to the girl, claimed he had the constitutional right to freedom of expression. The couple chose to exercise that right by inking 'heil Hitler' on their daughter's arm. Days after the initial report, CFS was discussing a deal to drop the application for guardianship and return the children to the mother, after she separated from her husband. More details from the CFS application spilled out, including the fact the girl missed 39 days of school during the 2007-08 session. Distancing herself from her husband's more extreme views, the mother explained how she was a "white nationalist" who subscribed ...

Helen Epstein wrote the seminal Children of Holocaust: Conversations With Sons and Daughters of Survivors in 1979; Aaron Hass took a psychological approach in his book In the Shadow of the Holocaust: The Second Generation; and Art Spiegelman won the Pulitzer Prize in 1992 for his brilliant graphic novel/memoir Maus. [Bernice Eisenstein] freely admits that her status as a child of Holocaust survivors is a form of "cachet" that she would "socially trade on" for attention, friends, dates and presumably book deals, too. I felt a mix of emotions, unhappy to be amidst a fury that Michael and I could not have foreseen and angry towards my aunt and uncle's reaction... after the war, the Jews of Europe had become an endangered genetic pool and, tragically, my aunt knew too well the guardianship...
I take full responsibility for my actions. I know it was a horrible place for them to be. I put them in harm's way," said the woman, who can't be named to protect the identity of the children. Defence lawyer Scott Paler said his client plans to prove her worth as a mother and fight CFS's attempts for a permanent order of guardianship. Her life has recently "taken a turn for the better," which includes beating a crack cocaine addiction, he said. "This environment was a toxic one for children to be in. She owed her children much more than that," Crown attorney Mike Desautels told court Thursday. He noted the woman is one of only a handful of Canadian parents to be convicted of the charge, which carries a maximum sentence of two years behind bars. The Crown conceded a conditional sentence...

The worker spoke with Ms. [Kematch] but did not speak to Phoenix or access the residence as Samantha Kematch reported she had someone visiting," Crown attorney Rick Saull told jurors. APRIL 23, 2000: Phoenix is born to Kematch and the father, Stephen Sinclair. The couple "indicated they were not ready financially or emotionally" to care for their new baby and consented to a CFS placement. However, the couple changed their minds days later and asked for full custody. CFS obtained a three-month temporary order of guardianship and allowed the parents to have supervised visits. DECEMBER, 2004: CFS learned Kematch had given birth to a baby girl and that the father was [Karl McKay]. No contact was made with the couple and the file remained closed. It wouldn't be reopened until the March, 200...
